Marshmallow Whipped Cream {Cool Whip Copycat} is a light and fluffy topping that is perfect for desserts, fruits, or any dishes you would typically use storebought whipped topping like Cool Whip. With just three ingredients, you can have a delightful and sweetened whipped cream anytime you need it! I also have a homemade whipped cream made with just two ingredients that you may want to try, too!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Heavy Whipping Cream: Heavy whipping cream (heavy cream) has a high-fat content that is important for achieving a light and fluffy texture.
Vanilla: Vanilla extract is added to the whipped cream to add subtle flavor.
Marshmallow Fluff: Marshmallow Fluff, a specific brand of marshmallow creme, is a sweet, gooey mixture that gives the whipped cream a marshmallow flavor. It also adds sweetness. You will need 1 cup of marshmallow creme, which does leave about 1/3 cup in a 7-ounce jar. We did test the recipe with the entire jar for convenience, but it is too much. The whipped cream ended up being too runny. You could also make homemade marshmallow fluff to use!
Does Marshmallow Whipped Cream Hold Its Shape?
Yes! Although this is not officially stabilized whipped cream, it does have some staying power from the marshmallow fluff. After testing it, we stored it in the refrigerator for an hour. Yep, still holding shape. And then, after an entire weekend of being stored? Still holding shape!
Use this in a glass of my Homemade Hot Cocoa!
How To Store Marshmallow Whipped Cream
Store marshmallow whipped cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last up to 2-3 days. You may need to gently re-whip the topping before serving.
Marshmallow Whipped Cream {Cool Whip Copycat}
Ingredients
- 1 cup (238 g) heavy whipping cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (96 g) marshmallow fluff
Instructions
- To the bowl of a stand mixer, add heavy cream and vanilla.
- Start mixing at the lowest speed and gradually increase the speed to medium as the cream thickens and soft peaks form (about 2 minutes). Soft peaks are achieved when the whipped cream holds its shape but the peaks droop slightly. Stop the mixer.
- Add marshmallow fluff.
- With the mixer back on medium speed, mix until stiff peaks have formed. Stiff peaks refer to the whipped cream peaks that stand straight up and hold their shape (about 1 minute).
- Once stiff peaks are achieved, stop the mixer. Serve with your favorite desserts!

I could eat this with a spoon just on its own! It tastes just like Cool Whip and is so so easy to whip together!
so can I use 1 1/3 cup cream and use the whole jar of fluff? seems like it would work and I wouldn’t have fluff left over. if I had fluff left over, i’d be eating it with a spoon! love your recipes!
Im happy to try this, not a fan of Cool Whip with all the chemicals.
I think you need a cookbook! I love all your recipes🩷
Please, What kind of mixer are you using in the videos….the one that adds ingredients from the top….Ive never seen one like that….THX….Sandra
Its a Kenmore Elite Ovation.
Can you make this and use it in recipes that call for Cool Whip? This sounds like it might be healthier than Cool Whip
Yes
We love it. I am going to put a quarter of cream cheese in it too. I think it would give it a little thickness.
Did you try adding cream cheese?
I’ve wanted to try this! Can I frost a cupcake with it? Or use as a filling in cupcake?
yes and yes! 🙂
Can you add banana pudding or fresh mashed up bananas or banana emulsion or banana extract ,can you use any of those mentioned above to get a banana cream flavor to make Twinkie cakes
Sure! Fun idea
How would you do this if you only had marshmallow and not fluff
Hi Amanda! I wouldn’t make this whipped cream with marshmallows. It wouldn’t be smooth.
